Locals Dominate MJT Antigonish Stop in Atlantic Canada
ANTIGONISH, NS – The first tournament of the three-event Atlantic Canada series on the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), Canada’s only national junior tour run by Canadian PGA Professionals, ran July 5th and 6th at Antigonish Golf Club in Antigonish, NS.
The Director of Golf at Antigonish, Ed Ryan, noted that rain both days made for wet course conditions. “The course was playing long and the juniors played well considering the conditions,” he said, adding, “we were lucky to get both rounds in.”
Local players dominated the tournament and won every age division. Antigonish juniors Nicholas MacInnis, Josh Bouchie and Ben Allard took first, second and third place respectively in the Boys 17 and up division, with 17-year-old MacInnis shooting 77-78 (155) for the low overall score in the field. “I was able to steady my game after a double bogey on the 5th hole on day two,” said MacInnis. “It means a great deal to win a tournament and have a chance to possibly represent my country.” MacInnis’s score qualifies him for a spot in the Canada-International Friendship Cup at Beach Grove Golf Club in Delta, British Columbia, this August.
